My Dell Dimension E510 cannot pick up any voice recording from my various mic inputs. I have fiddled with volumes of each respective input (line in, rear mic, mic jack) to no avail, and when I try to use the Control Panel's mic test, not only will no voice be picked up, but the volume slider automatically maxes out, even when dragged down to low volume. Help!
